I have a Weatherby with synthetic stock in 22-250 and it's the best bolt action rifle I've owned. It has the stainless fluted barrel and I put a nice Nikon scope on it. Weatherby has a few different synthetic stocks, one is a black somewhat cheapish looking stock and the other is a lighter greyish tan sort of color with black specks in it. That one feels really high quality like the rest of the set-up. The rifles aren't cheap but the quality is there.
